Chapter 367: They Actually Met

Aleister... is a spy from the Star Antimony Kingdom?

Hearing Captain Camus' words, Aiwass felt it was so absurd. It was like a dream.

——Does Miss Aleister know that she is a spy?

She doesn't know!

I don’t know either!

The key point is that the Aleister pseudonym was completely made up by Aiwass!

Moreover, Aiwass didn't write it very carefully at the time, and didn't even make up the last name.

As a result, Aiwass herself is now unsure whether the "Aleister" in "Miss Aleister" should be a first name or a last name - it can be used as a first name, a last name, or even a middle name. It is for this reason that Aiwass chose this pseudonym at the time.

"Wait a minute."

Aiwass sorted out his thoughts and immediately realized the complex amount of information revealed in Camus' words: "You mean, this intelligence was investigated by the 'Iris People' spies in 'Star Antimony', and then intercepted by our spies in 'Iris' during the process of sending it to their country?

"...Can this secondhand information be guaranteed to be true?"

Strictly speaking, this can even be called third-hand.

It is entirely possible that this was false information made up by the Star Antimony people for the Iris people, or it is even possible that the Iris people deliberately leaked this information to Avalon.

After all, Avalon's spies all came from the Inspectorate, essentially either Overseers or Law Mages, and generally lacked a compatibility with the Dao. Avalon didn't even have an assassination organization, yet Xingti and Iris were highly proficient in this area.

Even if it is said that Avalon's spies have been operating under their noses from the beginning to the end, it is not completely impossible.

There is also an explanation for the motivation.

From the perspective of the Star People, Aleister is an Avalonian demon who has contracted a shadow demon. Her existence directly undermines the foreshadowing of Noble Red and Minister of Trade Droste, and the Star People have every intention of sowing discord.

Not to mention, during the last promotion ceremony, "Alai" also received a call from Count Leipzig.

Since Count Leipzig has made up his mind, it is reasonable for him to find a way to speed it up.

Commonly known as making money from Liangshan.

——Song Jiang put forward guiding opinions.

The Iris people, however, had a completely different understanding of "Miss Aleister." According to information deliberately leaked by Aiwass, Aleister was actually the missing and defected assassin, Chloë de Siliaix.

Seeing Aiwass's subtle expression, Edward nodded. "I know she saved you before. So it's normal for you to find it hard to believe. But the information is very detailed, and we have verified it..."

"So, according to the principle of avoiding suspicion, this matter will not be handed over to you. However, in order to prevent you from interfering with the excuse of 'I don't know', it is still necessary for you to know the full picture."

"Verified?"

Aiwass was incredulous for a moment: "How did you verify it?"

"This is intelligence confirmed by the Inspectorate. The content is very complex and involves multiple cases."

Edward said solemnly, "We've collected all the information currently circulating about Miss Aleister. The final conclusion is... Aleister doesn't exist in Avalon. All the information about her birthplace, education, housing, and family situation is false."

"When we investigated this matter, we discovered that former Minister Droste's people had access to this information. We now know the identity of the old man Droste very well. After he handled this information, its credibility was naturally reduced. But now, when we investigate it again, we find that it is completely false. This can only mean that former Minister Droste deliberately erased her existence.

"In contrast, the spies received more detailed intelligence."

"...Then tell me, I'm also quite curious about this information."

Aiwass was somewhat helpless: "What is Miss Aleister's full name?"

"Her name is Aleister Crowley."

Captain Camus whispered, "The Crowley family from Xingbi."

"They are a well-known family of demonologists, and they enjoy the trust of the royal family."

Edward added, "Aleister is the third daughter of the family head. She's not a demon, but a demonologist—her father helped her contract a shadow demon when she was very young. Her mentor is General Leo Carl of the Carl family. Because of this, she joined the Star Antimony Kingdom's Army's First Special Operations Unit at a very early age."

Aiwass's expression became more subtle.

Oh, so my last name is Crowley?

This is the first time I know this...

"Then why did she come to Avalon?"

Aiwass just felt funny.

He was now very curious about how complete a story the intelligence department of Xingti had made up for "Aleister".

Captain Camus was clearly very familiar with this intelligence, and he answered without hesitation: "In fact, Aleister was not sent to Avalon, but to Iris - this is why the Iris spies collected this intelligence.

"The Star Antimony people believed that Iris's 'Eagle Eye' organization was inextricably linked to Prime Minister Iris. Therefore, they sent a special team into Iris several years ago. Aleister's mission was to track Chloe, the granddaughter of the Eagle Eye assassin master, Thomas Trainor Debussy Marco de Siliex.

"At a young age, she mastered the Hawkeye Organization's 'Shadow Assassin' legacy and reached the fourth level, and is therefore considered the next generation of Master Assassins. Aleister sent his shadow demon into Miss Chloe's shadow to accompany her on missions, while he secretly monitored her..."

Captain Camus said this, and Edward continued, "Later, Miss Chloe was sent to Avalon as one of the executors of Operation Stop the Bleeding. She later became your classmate... You know what happened next.

"Incidentally, Operation Stop the Bleeding is a campaign by the Hawkeye Organization, the extremist human faction of Iris, to discredit the Moon Children in all areas surrounding Iris. Ostensibly, this is to prevent the infiltration of the Moon Children, but in reality, they intend to use this opportunity to leverage international public opinion to suppress the political influence of the Moon Children within the country."

Edward explained in detail to Aiwass: "I went to Iris before to deal with the follow-up of this matter. The people of Iris insisted that they had no intention of assassinating you or Princess Isabel.

"To preserve Chloe's reputation, they were even willing to acknowledge Lars Graham's assassination attempt on the royal family. They paid a huge price for this—a price that could set the entire Iris economy back for several years, a price no less than a defeat in war. And under Iris's system, this will make the public dissatisfied with the current party's prime minister and may even affect the election of the next prime minister."

"Why would they do this?" Aiwass was a little surprised.

"I don't know. This action is unusual and unreasonable... unless they think Miss Chloe is not dead."

Edward said seriously, "According to our intelligence analysis, it's very likely that Aleister contacted them and handed Chloe back. A future fifth-level assassin master with shadow abilities is worth the price they paid."

"This also reveals that Prime Minister Iris has close ties with the Hawkeye Organization. Therefore, we don't believe this is false information deliberately leaked to us by the Iris people, because this information is also of great value."

...Huh? I contacted the Hawkeye organization?

when?

Aiwass gasped.

He even began to suspect that someone was acting in his name or that someone had returned to China using Chloe's identity.

What he found most unbelievable was that some of this information actually matched...

No, it should be said that everything is correct except the most critical part!

——Except that there is no such person as Aleister, the rest is all correct!
